I breathed heavily... with each drawn breath I heaved myself slowly out of this vision and came back into reality again, opened my eyes and looked at the Shaman. His eyes were piercing me, searching my soul for answers.

"Shaman... who killed the young ones and the female in the first place? Did anyone investigate?"

The old orc shook his head slowly, his grip on my wrists loosened a bit.

"Blood was enough... wolf was there - was enough."

"And if the wolf had come there just a few seconds before the orc? And even if his snout was bloody, maybe he tried to take up the scent of the murderer?"

"Blood was enough... wolf was there - was [color:"red"]ENOUGH![/color]"

"NOOOOO, it was not enough - you had sat there side by side, shared your meals, hunted together, had listened to the music of friendship - and the bond was so easily broken? By blood... without [color:"red"]PROOF?[/color]"

I rocked to and fro, from side to side, trying to calm down, the music of anger rushed through my veins - and I was not able to find my own counter melody. I clenched my hands to fists and felt a sharp prick... I let go and felt the halfmoon again. Controling my breath I was able to look at him once again.

The Shaman's eyes and mine met, the melody of contest started and this time I wanted no soothing tune, we sank into each other and the contest battle song raged to and fro - we left our bodies and...

[color:"#daa520"]I soared over the countryside... fights down below... burned villages, crying women, abandoned cattle, children searching.... burnt earth... twisted, tortured bodies, destruction everywhere... I screamed out of rage and fury: This is what the Song of War does, this is what the Tune of Death causes, this leads to the Melody of Mourning and Sorrow... this is ANTI-LIFE... the vision changed, the drums were burning in my veins, the arrows hit through me, the thunderclap of explosion burst me to pieces, I was the crystal.. I hurled myself unto my next neighbour... I clashed into the next one.... I felt myself cracking... I fell... I fell... [/color]
